The Tall Man
Three girls go into the forest one night and only one comes back out. This happens close to where Jennifer grew up, and the team figures out that the other two were kidnapped and may still be alive. Jennifer finally realizes that her sister killed herself because she had been groomed by an older man, and her parents were too busy arguing for her to ask them for help. The team theorizes that it might be the same man grooming one of the girls and getting her to lure the other girls to him.
